Clinicopathological Study of Oncocytomas of Head and Neck Region: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of oral pathology & medicine : official publication of the International Association of Oral Pathologists and the American Academy of Oral Pathology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSalivary gland oncocytomas are infrequent benign salivary gland tumors with few reported cases.
aimsThis study aimed to systematically review case reports and case series studies on oncocytomas in the head and neck region. MATERIALS &
methodsElectronic searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and LILACS databases. The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute-University of Adelaide tool for case reports and case series.
resultsA total of 99 studies (145 cases) were included. Oncocytomas predominantly affected women, typically presenting as solitary, asymptomatic parotid masses in patients over 51 years of age. Some cases reported multiple or bilateral tumors, occasionally associated with other salivary gland lesions. Histologically, the tumors were primarily composed of eosinophilic oncocytes with minimal pleomorphism, arranged in diverse architectural patterns. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed positivity for PTAH, antimitochondrial antigen, CK5/6, CK8/18, CK10/13, CK19, EMA, along with a low Ki67 index, while being negative for S100 and actin. Surgical excision was the primary treatment, with rare instances of recurrence.
conclusionOncocytoma is a rare, benign neoplasm that most commonly arises in the parotid gland, with a predilection for female patients. Complete surgical excision constitutes the standard treatment and is associated with an excellent prognosis.
